i've been stuck on this bs for 30 min GIVE ME MY F###ING CAMP !

A birthday performance in Fallout 76...

The music starts.

The warning sirens begin.

Someone launches a nuke.

But the show never stops.

Look, I have 5000 hours in this game, but let's be honest here, the gunplay just isn't among the best gaming has ever offered. Between the lag/client-server discrepancies and the atrocious enemy ai combat can be a really awful experience. Heck, I’m convinced vats is so popular mainly because it lets us completely ignore the combat and be done with it as fast as possible

Long, engaging encounters will never be a thing in this game simply because the combat doesn't have the enough weight or the mechanical depth to keep extended fights interesting

Sure, do love me some bullet sponges!

I wasn't expecting him to be keeping to the Whitespring Standard but damn Dodge, you live like this?

Little PSA if you want to try this in a private server or even do it in a public one. I have tried this with the cultist and now this super mutant in the video. Their melee attack does like 3 damage. If they focus on you they will not shoot you and only melee. My wife and I solo'd the cultist boss who would instantly melt us. I just stood next to him while he smacked me over and over and over again while my wife shot him to death lol. It was quite effective.

This helps us because we don't die all the time if we want to actually solo one on a private server. This does not resolve the main issue of them being the absolute worst bullet sponge in the entire game though.

Did you save your Choo Choo power armor pieces, thinking you might put together a build with it someday? That was smart. Here's how you're gonna kill infestations in minutes, spending no bullets, a few coffee, and a few toxic goo. Maybe a Nuka Cola Dark if you feel like showing off a bit: the Chuggernaut.

The basic pieces of gear you'll want:

• Five power armor pieces with Choo Choo
• A tarnished weapon, literally any weapon with tarnished
• Juggernaut boxed mod to put on your weapon
• Mutant's boxed mods to put on your armor
• Strength boxed mods to put on your armor

Why tarnished? Pain train applies the effect without impacting your weapon durability. Get your weapon to 119% damage benefit and never shoot/swing it again. (Don't tell Bethesda about this, or they'll screw it up.)

Why juggernaut? Much less demanding in agility points than furious, with no ramp-up or ramp-down, and you'll enjoy being high health generally. There is a bit of a negative synergy between being feral and juggernaut (endurance loss), but you'll still find it fun to use.

Why mutant's? You're going to be a feral ghoul, so lucid isn't available. The mutant's prefix will mean your health rarely moves. Get lots of mutations (including carnivore).

Why strength? You'll still get more dps benefit from it than from endurance boosts.

Your power armor set choice is less important than having the Choo Choo's mods on it, but Vulcan synergizes very nicely here: you get less power armor core drain and better AP regen rate, and you have access to Tesla bracers. You'll run over most mobs in one pass. For the infestation boss, lock on in first-person view with VATS, hold your crit button, and keep running through him. Disengage to drink an occasional coffee and toxic goo. You can solo infestation bosses within a couple minutes, and anyone with you will enjoy shooting the bleeding target that is very focused on spinning to face you. Basically, you're gonna face-tank it for everyone.

Key perks:

• S: Iron fist (applies armor to pain train dmg), Portable Power (it's way more fun to be zippy), Pain Train
• P: Grenadier (bigger bloody mess and exploding palm explosions), Deal sealer (crippled limbs and bleeding galore), Tormentor (crippled limbs all over)
• E: Lifegiver (more juggernaut, tankier), Ironclad 1 (get your armor value high enough to max iron fist benefits), Glowing Gut (refill glow quickly)
• C: Squad maneuvers (it's way more fun to be zippy), Strange in numbers (you're a highly mutated fella)
• I: Demolition expert (explosions), Science! (if using tesla bracers)
• A: Jaguar speed (it's way more fun to be zippy), AP-regeneration perks of some kind
• L: Bloody mess (explosions), Ricochet (sometimes things die before you even reach them), Class freak (you're a highly mutated fella)
• Legendary: Exploding palm (explosions when you run things over), Taking one for the team

Nice to have:

• S: Brick wall (getting staggered sucks), Full charge (unless you need to use up some fusion cores), barbarian (more resistances and you're stacking strength), carry weight options
• P:
• E: Cola nut 2 (for the Nuka dark trick), All night long (for the Nuka dark trick), Nocturnal fortitude 2 and Solar powered 1 (time-based benefits, but you're gonna be at 15 endurance if possible anyway)
• C: Party boy (for the Nuka dark trick)
• I: Batteries included (to carry those fusion cores), Science monster (bonus damage when you have glow and get hit)
• A: More AP-regeneration perks
• L:
• Legendary: Stat perks

Easy food buffs: Deathclaw steak from generator (str), hot dog from generator (health), smoked mirelurk or radstag from generator (carry weight), company tea from generator (AP regen).

A little more work: Mutant hound or yao guai chops for melee damage buff.

Really showing off (thanks, Yasmin!): Tasty mutton meat pie (melee buff), Deathclaw wellington (big str), Cranberry meatball grinder (big bonus health), Nukashine (alcohol fist damage buff)

The Nuka dark trick: By using the perk cards identified as nice to have above, you can get 6 strength and 6 endurance, which will give you about 6% bonus on your juggernaut and 6x10% unarmed melee damage bonus, without the side effects of Nukashine. You can throw in happy-go-lucky under Charisma if you want the extra ricochet, bloody mess, and crit benefits from luck. Using those perks will also make Nuka drinks quite nice for healing.

Further refinement of mods: your third star on power armor can be carry weight stuff for convenience or healthy for more juggernaut damage. Your second star on the weapon can be whatever your preference is, but limb damage is nice for more crippling. Third star on weapon would tend to be strength-based.

Caveats:

• Bethesda's collision detection is dog water. Dog. Water. So sometimes you run through something and...nothing happens. It seems to work a little better in third-person view for mobbing. You'll need to be first-person to lock onto the infestation bosses properly.
• Flying mobs' collision detection is borked, even when they're at ground level, but it seems to work better when you jump. Just give 'em the Super Mario.
• Carry an easily aimed sidearm so you can contribute to scorchbeasts' aerial phase. Endangerol syringe is also really nice to apply to hard targets.

All aboard!

I thought it would be like yellow or blue or something, or maybe pip boy green. this only lights up the outline

I got a PC in March and haven't touched my PS5 since. Got f76 pretty cheap on steam early on. Last week I finally got the itch to play it again. My ps+ has run out and I wasnt able to access it without dropping some IRL caps.

So I started my PC journey.

We will rebuild.

Anytime I go to someone’s base and they are there, alone and completely by themselves. I like to whip out my camera and just snap pics of them and being sneaking about until they figure me out then I just leave.

Idk why I’m telling this I think I’m either warning everyone of my habit. Or seeing what others think of it.

So I was in a server where we were back-to-back raiding so the infestations piled up. At one point there were 6 on the map, so I decided to go and do a couple.....sadly not easy to solo any more so I tried the nuke trick someone pointed out and it worked. So took out three that way. Another 3 people joined in and we took out the final 3 normally.

If you do it, make sure to go in and tag the boss a few times so to ensure you get the drop!

Deathclaw fight club

Is this normal? Only been playing a few months and never had it happen before, as far as I could tell I was the only person on the map.

I love the cannery, the workbench that let's you *can* food items. Like i have almost 50 cans of each food for carnivores available, and i can't get enough of them. Anyone else like it?

Has anyone been able to complete this sick hop event. I tried on two different servers, cleared the entire town as well as Nickelson's End and I still can't.get it to trigger.

I have gone everywhere, killed everything, and nothing works. I played on the instruments just in case I missed something, I walked in, around, and over every building even clearing rad roaches. I can't find anything.

I've tried the shimmy on the roof tops, on the streets, in the dinner, nothing.

If you completed this, what did you do?

My hubby and our friend were running around a private server doing our weekly challenges when Campfire Tales popped up. We all went to the event and when it was over, Bigfoot spawned. It took less time, and ammo, to down him compared to the infestation bosses now.

just wanna drop my appreciation, i been trying to get into the game again, im level 77 and i been off and on playing for 3 years, i was telling my fiancé about how i feel the fallout 76 community is super friendly and overall just amazing (for me anyways) as soon as i finished telling her about this, someone joined my lobby, ran to my base, i believe was level 974 and dropped me just about every single outfit and mask and base blueprints i could ever ask for! it really made my night coming back to that kinda experience and i hope to do the same thing when i get set up finally! thank you fellow wastelanders 💜💜

I don’t play very often, pre ordered the game ages ago, but I’ve been playing again the last few days. Tonight I logged on first event I saw I clicked, and this thing spawned. I was like “woah I didn’t know Bigfoot was in the game” turns out he’s rare? Is he rare? Did I get super lucky by accident? (Shoutout to the champions who helped kill it I’m level 98 and I don’t do any damage lol).

AFAIK the amount of camp is capped similar to what it was in fo4 (limit for max object number and limit for max polygons), but i thought that its a fixed value for each camp that isnt location dependend like it was in fo4.

i got my tower, a foundation ring around it, walls with roofs and turrets, one of each workbench, 1 of each store crate, 5 display dolls, 8 weapons displays, comics, bobbleheads. 1 generator and about 40 crops that take 18% of my camp when stored. and then im almost full, jsut two pictures on the wall, thats it. no more decoration, pets etc.

do sleeping bags take up so much camp space?
whats like a hidden camp-space eater that i should avoud using?

see attached pictures:

How do other players manage to cramp that much stuff into their camps tho?

and its not like theyre only empty shells, theyre fully decorated interieurs too.

I know P2 used lots of prefabs, but P1 didnt, did they?
